Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Boss Qian's investments were extensive; he also owned a sizable Food City in Yangcheng.

Although his Food City was booming, it lacked a master chef capable of holding the fort.

If he could recruit a chef like Lu Feng, he was absolutely confident his Food City would achieve a leap in development.

Just thinking about it made Boss Qian's heart quicken.

As for the price of hiring Lu Feng, Boss Qian had already figured it out.

Money was what he lacked least; he had ample confidence to let Lu Feng name his terms.

Whatever Lu Feng wanted—money, luxury cars, mansions, shares—name it, he could afford it.

The more Boss Qian thought about it, the more reliable the idea seemed; he had even begun planning his next moves in his head.

If Lu Feng agreed, he would surely mobilize all his resources and spare no effort to make Lu Feng the finest chef in the country.

Although the plan had not yet been implemented, he couldn't help but feel his blood boil.

This feeling was just like the passion he had when he first started his business.

Thinking of his grand business plan and all the future possibilities, Boss Qian's face flushed, and his gaze toward Lu Feng grew more excited.

Boss Qian couldn't help but look at Zhao Zhenhui beside him, asking with some excitement, "Manager Zhao, I want to open another restaurant in Yangcheng and bring Boss Lu over. What do you think?"

Zhao Zhenhui paused mid-bite, staring at Boss Qian for several seconds before realizing the other man was not joking.

He then turned to look at Lu Feng, who was eating noodles, pondered seriously for a moment, and slowly said, "Boss Qian, I don't mean to discourage you, but I think... you might not be able to hire Boss Lu."

"How is that impossible?"

Boss Qian said in disbelief, believing that with his resources and wealth, no one would refuse such an opportunity.

In his view, there was nothing in this world that money couldn't solve.

If there was, it was simply because the money offered wasn't enough.

Zhao Zhenhui smiled, leaned close to Boss Qian, and said quietly, "Boss Qian, I told you before, Boss Lu lives at Yunding Huating, you know that, right? Boss Lu isn't someone who lacks money."

Boss Qian was stunned; he knew the villas at Yunding Huating were not cheap.

But having money was one thing—who would pass up a better opportunity?

No one would complain about having too much money and not want to keep earning, right?

"Not necessarily. Want to make a bet?" Boss Qian asked Zhao Zhenhui confidently.

Hearing about a bet, Zhao Zhenhui also became interested; he put down his chopsticks and asked with a smile, "Bet on what?"

"Bet on whether I can hire Boss Lu."

Boss Qian smiled and continued, "If I win, tonight we both go to the Foot Massage Parlor and you pay; if I lose, I pay."

"Boss Qian, I can bet with you, but can we change the stakes?"

Zhao Zhenhui shook his head with a bitter face; if his wife Zhou Yaqin found out he went to the Foot Massage Parlor, he'd definitely have to kneel on the washboard when he got home.

"Sigh! So what has marriage actually brought to men?"

Seeing his henpecked appearance, Boss Qian looked at Zhao Zhenhui with pity and sighed as he spoke.

It seemed that no matter how rich a man was, after marriage he would be tightly controlled by his wife at home.

Fortunately, I haven't married, and I have no plans to marry these years.

Why marry so early? Now I can do whatever I want, how free.

Although Zhao Zhenhui did not agree with Boss Qian's view on marriage, he said nothing more, only suggesting, "How about we bet on who treats dinner tomorrow night?"

"Fine, let's bet on that! Whoever loses treats tomorrow!"

Boss Qian chuckled twice, showing his approval of the stake.

He turned to look at Lu Feng, a look of certain victory on his face.

On this side, Lu Feng had finished his noodles, and Hu Xiaoyun opposite had also just finished; she stood up and quietly cleared the bowls and chopsticks, but her gaze couldn't help but glance toward Li Hong'an several times.

When Li Hong'an had walked in carrying a gift bag earlier, she had noticed.

The gift box was exquisitely packaged, clearly not cheap at a glance.

And just now she heard Lu Feng call him Li Shu; it seemed the two knew each other.

Hu Xiaoyun couldn't resist her curiosity and asked Lu Feng quietly, "Boss, what does that person do?"

"Nothing much. He owns a restaurant and probably wants to poach me to be his master chef."

Lu Feng smiled and said in a casual tone.

Hearing Lu Feng's words, Hu Xiaoyun's heart thumped.

Although she had been working part-time at Lu Feng's place for less than a week, she felt especially relaxed here,

the boss was easygoing, and the diners were all very enthusiastic.

Such a good working environment was truly hard to come by.

If Boss Lu really agreed to go be a master chef for the other side, then this little shop would probably be gone, right?

Without this little shop, she estimated she'd never find such a good part-time job again.

Hu Xiaoyun gripped her chopsticks tighter, feeling somewhat nervous, and cautiously asked Lu Feng, "Then... Boss, will you agree to him?"

What she really wanted to say was that she very much liked working at Lu Feng's place.

Smelling the aroma of food every day, serving familiar customers, she felt very at ease inside.

But Hu Xiaoyun knew she was just a part-time employee and couldn't influence the boss's thoughts.

Lu Feng saw her worry, looked at Hu Xiaoyun, smiled, and said: "If I wanted to go, I would have gone when he tried to poach me before; I already refused last time, and it'll be the same this time."

Lu Feng would of course not agree to Li Hong'an's invitation; the System had already bound him to this Shop, so if he went there, how would he do Missions in the future?

No matter how good the treatment elsewhere, can it compare to the fragrance of System Rewards?

Which Boss could be so generous as to reward a luxury car and a Villa every week?

Hearing Lu Feng's answer, Hu Xiaoyun let out a long breath, the stone hanging in her heart fell to the ground, and a relaxed smile instantly bloomed on her face.

"That's good! Then Boss, after I finish cleaning up I'll head back first."

"Mm, watch your safety on the road." Lu Feng smiled and responded.

After Hu Xiaoyun finished cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks, she greeted Lu Feng, then walked toward the School with light steps.

"Lu Feng, free now, right? We..."

Hu Xiaoyun had just left when Li Hong'an, seeing Lu Feng free, immediately stood up carrying a gift bag and walked over, a kindly smile on his face.

His words weren't finished yet when a resonant voice came from behind him: "Boss Lu, do you have a dream?"

Hearing this voice, both Li Hong'an and Lu Feng were stunned for a moment, and both turned to look at the speaker.

Qian Laoban stood behind Li Hong'an, looking at Lu Feng with an expectant face.

A dream?

What does this person want to do? Opening with such a profound question?

Qian Laoban stood before Lu Feng with a confident face; this was his consistent way of getting close to people.

Starting from the angle of dreams, then opening the topic on life pursuits, thereby naturally putting forward his own cooperation terms.

Under this combination punch, even the most hesitant person would be moved by his sincerity.
